As long as the spread is close enough (and it's possible depending on who you are financed through and what your credit is like) you can save a bit on interest. It's not much... I figure around $200 or so comparing a 36 month $20k loan vs a 60 month paid in full at the same rate, but perhaps the most important thing is that it gives you the flexibility to pay later if you need to.

My guess is Unknown has good credit. If you have good credit the rate curve can be much flatter than someone with not so great credit.

Anyways, I really do apologize for jumping on you, Unknown. I missed the double-payment part and just assumed that you were using the full terms on both loan comparisons. I was wrong. I mean it when I say I'm sorry.
